episode_0204

It was while I was chewing on Cheonjicho and doing the rest of my work. The fabric connected to the next room shook slightly and the swordsman came in here.

“Is Sayoon sleeping?”

“Hmm. I fell asleep.”

I remembered Sayoon’s training earlier. He seemed quite enthusiastic… but I thought he was overdoing it.

As I looked toward the next room, Geomsung smiled and asked.

“Are you worried that Sayun is overdoing it?”

“I can’t say no.”

“Haha. That child is much stronger than you think.”

That’s right.

Even though I experienced such pain and despair in the bright moon of heaven, I did not get discouraged and just gritted my teeth and moved forward.

Even if things are different now than then, Sayoon’s own mind-reading mind can never be denied.

When I nodded, Geomseong smiled and sat down.

“But I guess it came from the post office earlier?”

“Did you hear?”

It seemed like he was talking about something with Sayoon earlier. When I asked, Geomseong cleared his throat and quietly averted his gaze.

“Well, I just heard it.”

It looks like they were concentrating on this. I laughed and the Sword Saint’s face gradually started to turn red.

“You can’t concentrate while teaching your students. You are a terrible teacher.”

“Ugh…”

The Sword Saint’s eyes became moist. I ended up laughing at the gaze that looked at me so sorrowfully.

“Just kidding.”

“It’s as boring as the jokes I tell.”

“I think your joke is funny in its own way.”

I got in the car and placed it in front of her. She held it tightly and glared at me and said briefly.

“You are truly pathetic.”

“Shouldn’t there be something like this?”

“Heung.”

Geomseong quickly turned his head and sipped his tea. But that only lasted a moment. He glanced at me again and sighed softly.

“Ryun and Yuni have become much stronger. Especially Ryeon.”

The two’s skills were revealed in this dance competition. Especially Sayoon, but Hongryeon’s skills were at a much greater level than previously known.

Complete the meteor rock and challenge the meteor shower.

In other words, trying to approach the level of superhumanity.

The impact will never be small.

“Until now, no faction has had more than two superhumans.”

Is it for no reason that they are called the ten strongest people in the world?

Among the number of warriors as many as grains of sand on a sandy beach, only ten are currently capable of handling strong skills.

That’s how difficult it is to have two people from one clan.

It was truly ridiculous, but Hongryeon was trying to do it now.

“Of course Chaejin is also… amazing.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s all because of you.”

“Haha.”

“…Thanks to you.”

Geomseong looked at me as he put down the teacup. I shrugged, meeting her warm gaze.

“Sinsanjara. He has great knowledge like a god, and uses it to do good deeds. It’s a nickname that really suits you.”

No matter how much I listen to it, it’s a nickname I can’t get used to.

When I turned my head, Geomsung grinned.

“And it might embarrass you.”

“Keuhum. Let’s stop talking about that.”

“Hmm? That’s not something the person who teased me earlier would say.”

That’s right.

When I raised my hands, Geomsung finally giggled as if he was satisfied and then sighed.

“However, having strong power means that you will have bigger enemies. I’m a little worried. Maybe… other factions might start to keep things in check.”

“Keep it in check…”

Hong Seong-moon’s reputation is rising day by day.

Since it is recognized by the military and the government, and is the only faction officially connected to me, which is currently recognized by the government with the special title of Shinsan Seonja, there may be checks from other political factions.

I smiled and shook my head at the worried words of the Sword Saint.

“I can take care of that part myself.”

I can stop political or financial attacks.

What matters is direct attack.

“How are you going to stop it?”

“Well, I plan to get some help from Moonwoljeong. I was already trying to get some supplies from Cheongho. I’m thinking about leaving it to Moonwoljeong.”

The products handled by Cheonghoe Sangdan are not bad, but in terms of fabric and some other aspects, Cheongho’s products were good.

Seomhwachon will now be transformed into Seomhwaseong, and as the population increases, the number of items needed will increase.

To prepare for that time, I plan to bring in new items to the store.

“Ummmm.”

When Moonwoljeong was mentioned, Geomseong groaned as if he did not like it. Well, I guess so. However, if Hongseongmun and Munwoljeong appear to be united around me, most of the sects will not be able to make any moves.

“And…”

What about the coffin? If I keep giving out information on how to kill monsters, they will be happy because they won’t have to worry about it.

“So don’t worry about that…”

” Iron Blood Order?”

“Yes.”

I don’t know about anything else, but there’s nothing I can do about direct attacks.

I heard this while talking with Cheon Il-hwa, who came last time, and that the lifting of control in the North may be a little faster.

In addition, according to information obtained by Hano, the number of smugglers in the north is increasing, so it seems that the government is moving towards opening up quickly.

And the background was that almost all of the northern monsters had disappeared.

In other words, it was no different from the story that the Iron Blood Tree currently in the north was fully prepared.

“I think they will move as soon as the North opens up.”

When the north is opened and the soldiers in that area withdraw, the Iron Blood Emperor and Dool, who is collaborating with him, will quickly move south.

And maybe, they might attack Island Village right away.

“When the island becomes Hwaseong Fortress, the military will send additional officers, right? They say they will attack first before that happens.”

“Hmm… Then, in preparation for that, shouldn’t I ask for a promotion to Island Castle sooner?”

“Being promoted to last name is not easy…”

This had to be done by the imperial family, so there was nothing I could do about it. Still, through Cheon Il-hwa, I gave him a sachet and some information as a bribe and asked him to do it a little faster.

In the end, this will be a race against time.

“I am doing everything I can. So the rest…”

I leaned back in my chair and sipped my tea.

“Just trust and leave it to me.”

Because I won’t be of any help in direct combat.

***

To be honest, it felt good to win, but I didn’t like the injury at all.

His left arm was cracked and he suffered internal injuries.

Of course, Chaejin, who was the opponent, was not fine either.

The unfortunate thing was that I had no choice but to step down from his escort role for the time being.

“Ugh…”

And during that period, Master was by his side.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t trust the Sword Saint. Anyway, she is one of only ten superhumans in the world, and her desire to protect Yuwol is obviously great.

It’s so great that it’s a problem.

Hongryeon, who was concentrating on recovering her body in the lotus position, let out a heavy sigh.

“Why can’t I concentrate like this?”

“…There is such a thing.”

Not only he, but Chaejin, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, was also fidgeting.

However, it is easier to blame our own family members than to blame other people’s family members.

Ryu Hyeon picked up Hongryeon as always, and she sighed once again, feeling grounded.

“You need to continue practicing Hongseong Shinkong to increase your recovery speed.”

That way you can recover quickly. Ryu Hyeon pointed to one side. If it weren’t for the fact that my recovery was faster thanks to the Bodhisattva statue there, I might have had to fight while still injured during the sparring.

“If you get injured this much and get nothing…”

“U. Stop grinding…”

In the end, Hongryeon, unable to overcome the nagging, raised the white flag. As she spoke sullenly, Ryu Hyeon grinned.

After I cleaned her body and she went out, I heard a commotion outside.

What’s going on?

Hongryeon got up from her seat. The injured area hurt, but if something happened at Hongseongmun, I couldn’t just sit still.

When she went out, she saw someone walking up from the entrance of Hongseongmun Gate.

It was Sayun and Ryu Kang who went on patrol today.

Seeing that their hands were full of something, he must have given them something else.

Hongryeon approached them, trying hard to hide the smile that came out of her mouth.

“Oh?! Ambassador!”

“How are you feeling?!”

“I’m fine. But what is that?”

“Ah. The owner of the guesthouse gave it to me to go and eat.”

“I see…”

“And he told me to give this to Ambassador Hongryeon.”

What Sayun held out was a pure white envelope. Could it be a seochal? He sent?

Naturally, my heart flutters.

“And give this to Chaejin…”

“…Give it to me. I’ll get it to you.”

Well then. Could it be that he only sent it to himself? I sighed a little with regret, but what can I do? The person who likes first loses.

After receiving the letter addressed to Chae-jin, Hong-ryeon accepted the box that Sayun held out. It was a snack that could easily be eaten at a guesthouse.

“Grandma Yohwan is also very worried.”

“It will get better soon. Your treasure is very helpful.”

“Hehe…”

It was a blessing in disguise that I had not yet been able to send the Buddha statue to my uncle. As Sayun smiled shyly, Hongryeon stroked her head.

And then he returned to his room with the box and letter that Yuwol had given him.

“What is it?”

“What Yuwol gave me.”

There was warmth in Chaejin’s eyes as she looked at the box of cookies.

As she stretched out her hand and clasped one of the letters, Hongryeon tossed the letter from her arms.

“He sent it.”

Chaejin quickly opened the scroll. And the same goes for Hongryeon.

A smile appeared on both of their lips.

I hope you get better quickly.

Let’s meet again soon and smile.

I’ll come and visit you tomorrow evening… If you need anything, please send someone over.

Things that you need.

You.

I need you.

I haven’t seen him for a few days already.

I miss his scent.

Hongryeon gently hugged Seochal. To feel the June contained within it even a little more.

It was just a short phrase, but I could tell his worries contained in it.

Do they think they were hurt because he allowed them to dance together?

I hope not.

Hongryeon thought for a moment and nodded.

I guess I should send something…

Hongryeon frowned when she saw Chaejin already writing the letter.

I don’t like it either.
